A variety of surgical strategies have been utilized in attempts to accomplish long-term haemodynamic stability in patients with cardiac anomalies characterized by discordant atrioventricular connections, ventricular septal defect, and severe sub-pulmonary obstruction. The majority of these patients have what is commonly referred to as congenitally corrected transposition, together with a ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis or atresia, in the setting of either usual or mirror imaged arrangement of the atrial chambers and the other organs of the body. A smaller sub-group, with discordant atrioventricular connections and double outlet right ventricle, with severe sub-pulmonary obstruction or pulmonary atresia, present similar physiology, and a comparable surgical challenge.

The surgical management of d-transposition of great arteries (d-TGAs) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) is ever evolving and still remains a challenge because of wide anatomic variability, age of presentation, surgical options available, and their variable long-term results in different series. We describe a patient with d-TGA, VSD, and LVOTO who presented to us at 13 years of age and underwent an arterial switch operation along with neoaortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis. The postoperative course was uneventful, and at hospital discharge, the echocardiogram was satisfactory. We present the pros and cons of this hitherto undescribed treatment option.
